of which 5338,450 were 4, and $67,500 4
per cents.
Reports from all through the tobacco
region show the crop to be seriously in
jured by frost. Probably one-fourth the
crop is ruined.
It is about time that Bitch men as
Kavanaugh should not be allowed to
dictate even to the Democratic party of
Platte county.
The gold coin and bullion in the
treasury at Washington, September 20,
was $289,677,835, which is" an increase in
the total for ten days of $3,540,638.
Monday, on his return from the St.
Louis encampment, Gov. Thayer was
tendered a reception by citizens of Lin
coln. He responded in a lengthy ad
dress. A frinate hospital for the insane at
Oak Lawn Retreat, near Jacksonville,
111., was burned to the ground the other
day. The proprietor, Dr. McFarland.was
badly burned.
Nine of Buffalo Bill's Wild West In
dians arrived at Castle Garden the other

They spoke in German and were in fa
vor of blood, if everything else failed.
The other day J. C. Harvey Neely was
indicted in Chester, South Carolina, for
Bending a challenge to J. E. McMurray
to fight a duel. The interest in this case
is that the enemies of the code have de
termined to make a test case of it, so as
to effectually stop all further challenges
in that state.
Mrs. Mart McNasbt, wife of a furni
ture dealer at Annapolis. Md., cowdhid
ed the wife of John Brown. The whip
ping was severe, and may lead to much
trouble. The cause of the affair was the
suspicion of Mr&'McNasby that her hus
band was too social and friendly with
lbs. Brown.
If the people of the state think that
'their representatives didn't spend
enough of their money uselessly last
winter, they ought to urge the governor
to call an extra session of the legislature,
to convene shortly, and, if possible, con-
-tinse in session all winter. It k one of
the sorest methods in the world to
spend the people's money, guaranteed
CQttofiuL
! The Ticket.
Aa it appears at the head of our col
umns today, is a good strong one
throughout and well worthy tho sup
port of every voter of Platte county at
the polls next month.
Without any disparagement to any
other previous ticket, we believe that
the nominations last Friday are the best
ticket ever nominated in the county.
Not a weak man in the whole list. Every
one of them, without excoption, unu
sually well qualified for the office named,
all of them thoroughly upright, hon
orable men the Republicans of old
Platte are more than pleased, they are
proud of the ticket.
Ijet the organization bo completed in
each township by the nomination of
good, solid men for the various offices,
and victory will perch upon our banners
at the polls next month, and that not
merely because these men are repre
senting the Republicans of Platte
county, but also because they are men
whom we can all trust to fill the offices
for which we have selected them.
Campaign Lien.
Republicans, it is already apparent
that the current campaign in this county
is to bo one of unusual activity on the
part of our political enemies, and it
does seem as though nothing will be so
low that some of them will not resort to
it. We shall keep this paragraph stand
ing during the campaign to be added to,
as the campaign proceeds. Nail these
lies to the counter.
That Becher -will foreclose all the
mortgages he has taken as loan agent,
in case he is not elected treasurer.
That Henry Carrig will be Kavanaugh's
deputy, if K. is elected.
That Bloedorn is a sot.
Cleveland, Columbus, Cincinnati, O.,
and Chicago as well as other cities have
been well supplied with incendiary cir
culars denouncing the action of the
courts. Those anarchists ought to know
by this time that mob force in this
country cannot run a free government
of laws, neither in its towns, cities or
states. Like other people they will live
and learn, even if such training takes
them through many sad and gloomy ex
periences. The man or the association
of men who oppose the execution of the
laws, state and national, are neither
friends of the American people or their
government. Their ultimate aim is to
destroy the government by mob force,
but if that trial-test should ever come,and
the government be compelled to meas
ure her lawful military strength against
mob force, these enemies of this govern
ment will meet with a still more sad ex
perience in learning to perform their full
duty to a republican government.
Advice to Young MeH.
Young men you are architects of your
own fortunes. Rely upon your strength
of body and bouI. Take for your star
self reliance, faith, honesty and industry.
Inscribe on your banner'Luck is a fool,
pluck is a hero." Don't take too much
advice keep at your helm and steer
your own ship, and that the great art of
commanding it to take a fair share of
the work. Think will for yourself.
Strike out. Assume your own position.
Put jKitatoes in your cart over a rough
road, the small ones go to the bottom.
Rise alove the envious and jealous. Fire
above the mark you intend to hit. En
ergy, invincible determination, with a
right motive, are the lovers that move
the world. Don't drink. Don't chew.
Don't smoke. Don't swear. Don't de
ceive. Don't read novels. Don't marry
until you can support your wife. Be in
earnest. Be self reliant. Be generous.
Be civil. Read tho papers. Advertise
your business. Make money and do
do good with it. Love your God and
fellow man. Love truth and virtue.
Love your country, and obey its laws.
Selected.
Washington Richards and William
Snyder, while chopping wood at New
Portage, O., opened a log in which they
discovered two shot bags full of gold
and silver coin, beside a roll of bills,
containing not less than $4,000, but the
latter was badly molded. Their total
find amounted to fully $10,000, and the
finders were happy over their sudden
fortune and intended to keep quiet, but
they bought new clothes at Akron, and
then returned to the village, set up the
drinks to the population of the place,
almost to a man. Fifteen years ago
Jacob Trackbach a miser, died at that
place, and without his cash ever being
found, although search was made on his
premises of every place likely to contain
it, even to turning over the land. It is
now claimed that this tree had been the
miser's treasury.
A woman traveling under an assumed
name with her husband, three children
and her sister, came to Atlanta, Ga.,
about two months ago; deserted by her
husband she was sent to the poor house,
where she sickened and died one day
last week, leaving three children. Pa
pers were found among her effects that
showed that her husband's real name
was not Campbel but W. C. Stubbert,
and that she was the daughter of Rev.
Geo. L. Brown, a Methodist minister of
Dodge county, Neb., near Webster post
office. Her sister left for North Bend
three weeks ago. The marriage is sup
posed to have been brought about by an
elopement.
Our predictions of an inharmonious
democratic convention materialized, not
withstanding the denial of the Dcmocraf.
The discord was deep, determined and
lasting but not in effective working
order for the purposes of that conven
tion. Honest democrats who go straight
to the thing which they aim to accom
plish will not soon forget, nor will they
readily forgive the treachery that threw
that convention into the hands of the
man Kavanaugh, who is well known to
claim to be the "boss" of the party in
this county.
John Sullivan, living in Chicago,
had a quarrel with his son and other
boys the other day, in which he was
severely beaten. He went into the
house, procured a double-barrelled shot
gun, and returning to the street, emptied
both barrels into the crowd of children
which had gathered. Fully a dozen of
them were wounded, none of them, it is
thought, very seriously. Mr. Sullivan
was locked up.
John B. Finch Dead.
Boston, Oct. 3. John B. Finch of Ne
braska, the noted prohibition orator died
tonight at the Eastern railroad depot
from the effects of a fit with which he
was seized on the train while returning
to this city, after delivering a temper
ance lecture at Lynn. All aid possible
was rendered, but he died soon after
reaching this city.
A stbanok accident occurred the
other day in Chicago in the presence of
hundreds of persons near the corner of
Clark and Kinzie streets. A man was
trying to cross the street between the
wagons, and was caught against the tail
board of a wagon on one side of the
head and the pole of a truck on
the other ride, crushing his head and
killing him instantly while in an up
right position.
A bad wreck, one of the worst that
ever happened on the Mobile & Ohio
road happened the other morning near
Jackson, Tenn. An entire passenger
train, except the engine, was hurled
from a tressle while running forty-five
miles an hour. Over thirty persons
were injured, but by what seems almost
a miracle none were killed. Of the in
jured four or five may die.
Frank Campbell, foreman of a
bridge gang on the Santa Fe road, was
shot and killed the other morning by
Michael McGraw, one of his men. The
murderer then suicided. McGraw had
received a sunstroke some time ago and
his mind had been weak since that time.
He imagined Campbell was trying to in
jure him.
The war of races at Caney Creek, Tex.,
was quite severe while it lasted the other
day. Another military company is held
in reserve at Huston awaiting orders
from the governor. Nothing is known
at Huston about the fight that is reli
able, how many were killed, but it was
reported that several colored men were
killed.
It is believed in some places that Pen
sion Commissioner Black was entirely
correct in his assertion that the United
States is more generous in its distribu
tion of pensions than any othor country
on the globe. With his pension and
salary of $5,000 from the government,
the proof of the remark is tolerably
strong, in one instance, at least.
The steamer T. B. Simms plying be
tween Memphis and St. Louis, was
burned the other morning at Island
Forty, sixteen miles above Memphis.
She had about 275 bales of cotton and
6,000 barrels of flour and meal aboard,
all of which was destroyed with the boat.
The Simms was valued at $20,000 and is
a total loss.
Oscar W. Neebe, the condemned
Chicago anarchist, spent the other night
in a solitary cell, at Joliet,was taken out
in the morning and put through the
well known prison preliminaries, and
was transferred into a full fledged con
vict and assigned to labor in the harness
shop under the register number 8,273.
The Columbus Journal brings out
Hon. W. A. McAllister of that city for
regent of the state university. That
suits ub to a dot. No better timber can
be found and we hope W. A. may be
placed on the republican ticket this fall
as one of the regency candidates.
Schuyler Quill.
The President has pardoned Sam
Houston, convicted of passing a coun
terfeit treasury note, and Win. J. Kelley,
convicted of forging an affidavit in n
pension claim. These pardons were
granted upon tho recommendation of
the jttdgos and district attorneys who
tried tho cases.
Rev. J. A. Copeland, of Rochester, N.
Y., an influential prohibitionist, and last
year a candidate for Congress on the
prohibition ticket, has joined the labor
party, and will Biipport Henry Georga
His action has created considerable talk
among politicians at Rochester.
At New York the other day the second
attempt to sail the ocean race in tho two
out of throe match for the America's
cup, was accomplished under circum
stances that compelled the most ultra
Britisher to say the Thistle was beaten
fairly and soundly.
The great race between Jay-Eye-See
and Patron, which was to have been
trotted at Washington Park, Chicago,
last Saturday, was postponed on account
of the weather. The managers will meet
and name the date when the race will
be started.
Three deaths were reported on Oct.
1st from cholera at Swinburn Island, N.
Y. Five new cases had been taken to
the Island since the last report. There
are now seventeen cases on the Island
and most of them are getting on favor
ably, despite the weather.
Ottawa, Ont., was so enveloped in
smoke the other day that objects could
not be distinguished half a block away.
There is fire for 100 miles in every di
rection. The losses, not only to timber,
but to farmers, are enormous, and will
probably reach $500,000.
Three men and two boys suffocated,
and thirteen others were overcome with
gas in the Bost colliery, Ashland, Pa.
Those killed were Frederick Outrich,
John Cochrane, John McDonald, John
Gulliam and Park Tulley, the latter
aged fourteen.
It is rumored at New York and Omaha
in railroad circles that the Union Pa
cific company will construct a line of
road to Chicago. It is claimed that this
line will have to be built in order to
compete with the Santa Fe and North
ern Pacific
It is reported from Fort Custer, M.
T., that the Crow Indians are in war
paint and in an outbreak at their re
servation. Three troops of cavalry have
been sent to the scene, and still more
found to be necessary to subdue the In
dians. .
President Cleveland has appointed
the Hon. Wm. L. Putnam of Maine, and
Hon. James B. Angell of Michigan, to
act with the secretary of state in the ne
gotiation for a settlement of the fisheries
question. Both gentlemen have ac
cepted. Probably the Columbus Democrat
man would like to have us give a chap
ter on his political life in Colfax county.
It would be somewhat like the article
written for his benefit by "Fanner." He
can have it if he keeps on. Schuyler
Quill m
Db. Leonard St. John, who is alleged
to have assisted Boodler McCarigle to

other night, had his bail reduced from
$18,000 to $13,000, and was released on
th6 same sureties given at his first arrest
One death is reported at New York on
SeDt 27th,among the cholera stricken
passengers of the Aleeia. Another
death was expected. Other patients are
reported aa doing well.
Capt. John Freer of the schooner
Marsh, who is said to have assisted
Boodler McGarigle to escape to Canada,
was arrested the other morning in Chi
cago. He promptly gave bail in the sum
of $4,000 and was released.

A German Baptist conference of the
states of Iowa, Kansas, Missouri and
Nebraska commenced a week's auuual
session on September 27 at tho Elk
creek German Baptist church, nine
miles north of Columbus. Thirty-seven
delegates arrived the first day. Several
distinguished divines were present.
Nance county republican convention
passed strong resolutions endorsing
Judges Post and Marshall for re-nomi-nation.
Tho slate lxard of transporta
tion was endorsed and the governor re
quested to call a special session of the
legislature to amend tho present rail
road law.
Sanford Allen, son of E. M. Allen,
while riding in tho pony race at the
county fair at Schuyler tho other day,
was thrown from a horse and had his
left leg broken near tho thigh, and his
left wrist dislocated. It is feared he has

dent was caused by a dog running in
front of the horso.
On the Union Pacific train between
Sidney and North Platte a middle aged
man died, and at North Platte his body
was carried from one of the coaches nnd
laid in the depot. The man took sick
after leaving Sidney and in fifteen min
utes after attacked was dead. His name

cago. A. Bad ham, of Mills county, Iowa, re
turning from Colorado with his family,
upset his wagon accidentally near

About noon the other day the post
office at Nebraska City was robbed of
fourteen registered letters and $75 in
cash. The robbers effected their pur
pose by picking a lock in the rear of the

leaves three children, all grown.
The engine in the coffee and spice
house of Tyschen & Leland of Lincoln
exploded the other day, breaking both
Mr. Leland's legs and seriously injuring
Harry Hoyte, the engineer. The cause
of the explosion was that the exhaust
valve in the engine became gummed and
refused to work, which forced the gas
back into the air reservoir, and ignited
it, which blew the engine to pieces.
Washington Letter.
From our regular correspondent.
Mr. Powell, the democratic candidate
for Governor of Ohio, was in Washing
ton last week importuning tho admin
istration to come to his relief. Mr.
Powell has the blues. His visit was
like a wet blanket to the Ohio portion
of the democracy who held office here.
He says frankly there is no hope in this
fall's election unless the administration
will do something. Powell's positiveness
is worthy of charitable consideration.
He says, too, if Ohio goes Republican
this year, it will work serious damage to
Mr. Cleveland's prospects for next year.
ThiB prediction proves Powell's fore
sight. Powell told the President that
the Ohio democracy were very luke-
warn finrl It Of? 1iitiJa IflrtnnfiitA -. ort
natuiy mvvw vvuwu 1U1 ei I
tive participation in this campaign, be-1
cause several offices were still held by
the Republicans, while working dem
ocrats stood ont in the cold champing
their bits and wondering what they
wero harnessed for. It is understood
here that the President promised Powell
some relief, but that the collections for
the campaign fund were exceedingly
small.
Next Friday the President starts on
his swing through portions of the West
and South. The program is well ar
ranged and quite elaborate, and there is
no reason why ho should not have a good
time, fully enjoy himself, and return- a
wiser man. Never having traveled
much, this trip may enlarge his ideas of
the magnitude and majesty of the
country and givo him a more exalted
conception of tho duties and responsi
bilities of his high position. If that
purpose is accomplished the country can
well afford the time and expense of his
absence from duty, though the ulterior
object be one of the most selfish and
partisan. That heart is a cold one that
would envy the administration a little
dress parade just at this time. It needs
something, and certainly this is thin
.enough. True, half the invitations
were worked up in Washington, but
what matters that? The President has
accepted and is going, and there will be
the local boom and excitement, the
great display, tho crowd and rush, and
lot us hopo no great disappointment or
feelings of disgust, when the fever is
over and second thought has fair play.
The late New York Republican con
vention does not suit the democrats
here. They gather in squads and talk
over the situation, but never with feel
ings of exultation. They expected a
split in the Republican party. It did
not come. Such a thing don't material
ize this year anywhere, and is merely a
democratic myth. After November New
York will be taken out of the list of
doubtful states for '88, as Indiana and
Virginia have already been, and Mary
land and Georgia just trembling in the
balance.
The Commissioner of Internal Revenue
is going to throw a bomb shell into the
beer garden. He says, and doubtless
very correctly, that the law is badly
violated by way of the most shameful
adulterations, and that the ingredients
used in its manufacture are very de
leterious, and great fraud is perpetrated
upon the Government and people. Ho
is gathering samples from various sec
tions, having them fully analyzed, and
proposes to submit to Congress an
elaborate report exposing the whole
sham, and demanding positive and
stringent legislation. He feels confident
in making a showing that will startle
the country, and force Congress to
prompt and decisive action. This ex
pose, too, may prove an important fac
tor in the discussion of the question
whether the Internal Revenue shall be
removed or not- If adulterations are so
flagrant, it would seem almost criminal
to remove what restraints we now have.
Treasury officials regard all fear of a
financial crisis as settled for the present.
The response to the recent offer to buy
lionds at a given price, is fully as gen
erous as expected, and the Secretary
claiiiiH that he can readily chock any
speculative movement that may be at
tempted on tho part of heavy bond hol
ders. This of course -must be done,
otherwise the result would be appalling.
There are two months to be bridged
over before Congress will meet, and if
the Treasury is skillful enough for the
emergency, we may escape a great
calamity and possibly profit in the fu
ture by this narrow deliverance.
Perry Belmont, of New York, is said
to be booked for Assistant Secretary of
SUite to fill the vacancy caused by the
resignation of Gov. Porter. t is also
rumored that Oberly, of the Civil Ser
vice Commission, will resign and be

Impossible to defeat the Democratic

Keep on your reversible shirt, Simon.
Don't crow so long before daylight, and

Platte county Democracy marches on
to victory. Democrat.
Platto county Democracy marches on
to trickery. What a pity that talent
and worth, honor and integrity can never
get to the front at a Platte county Dem
ocratic convention? Echo. It never
will while the dunder heads think more
of n scavenger and a bum and set more
value on a jug of whiskey than they do
upon their homes and family.
"Hello, Boss, how came you to switch
off Caldwell, Baker, Shaad, Hallen, Ben
der, Spoerry and others?"
"O ah y-e-s, I didn't need them any
longer on the main line. There was
more money in Maag."
Republicans, who were defeated in the
convention today can console themselves
with the thought that those who laid
them out will meet a harder fate by de
feat at the polls. Democrat.
Democrats who were side-tracked at
the Democratic convention by engineer
North and boss Kavanaugh will be found
equal to the emergency on election day
no switching off on that day.

Ed. Journal: I wish to warn Irish
men, through your columns, of their
enemies. Read the Democrat's last on
tho ability of Senator Pat Higgina.
There yon will see the depth of political
rascality. It is no wonder that O'Brien
is convicted. Every free trade ballot we
cast in this free land calls for a pound
of Irish blood by the police force; that
free trade feeds and equips itself from
the poor Irish tenant. Irishmen, take
warning. Read the Congressional
Record and that will show you who
your true friends were and are. Was
Van Wyck a democrat? Where were
the Know Nothings most rampant? In
southern hot-beds of democracy.
I have been watching the actions of
the United States Congress for forty
years, and I have always seen where the
old Whig and Republican parties were
always friends to the cause of Ireland.

DrankennesM or the Liquor Habit Positively
CHred by Administering Dr. Maine'
Golden Specific.
It can be given in a cup of coffee or
tea without the knowledge of the person
taking it; is absolutely harmless and
will effect a permanent and speedy cure,
whether the patient is a moderate drink
er or an alcoholic wreck. Thousands of
drunkards have been made temperate
men who have taken Golden Specific in
their coffee without their knowledge,and
today believe they quit drinking of their
own free will. IT NEVER FAILS. The
system once impregnated with the
Specific it becomes an utter impossibil
ity for the liquor appetite to exist. For

Two Certain Cures of Poison Oak.
Gentlemen Three years ago I whs
poisoned with oak vine. The poison
broke out on my body and face. One
large bottle of S. S. S. entirely cured me.
My case was a perfect test of the power
of S. S. S. as a blood purifier.
A friend of mine had been cured of a
similar poison by S. S. S., and it was
through his recommendation that I took
it. So here are two certain cures of
poison oak by Swift's Siecific.
Yours truly, Arthur W. White.

Gentlemen I had had rheumatism

bottles. It entirely cured me, and I
cheerfully give this testimonial of its
virtues in my case.

crancis Marak, jr.. of tverewt, Kan., the in
ventor of the appliance referred to, is here iIim
poeio of territory, and has made eoine Hales of
cuuuueB.
The appliance is an ordinary drum except that
it is divided into apartments running the length
of the drum; one of tiiene is virtually a contin
uation of the pi.'. when the dani'ier is not
turned, and maker a direct draft when tlettirttl
for starting a hrv; when the daoier is turned,
the iartitions are no arranged that the heated air
and smoke go alternately upnanl anil down-
want through all th a-artnieutH (unually tive in
number, owing to the rvlatixe hizh of pipe and
drum) and hually up the chimney. The princi
ple is precifely the name as that of the famous
Meunonitclieatiug fnrmtes, and applied to cook
or heating stoves, utilizes a great deal more of
the heat evolved from tho fuel than is done by
the ordinary drum. The pictures of progress
are these:
A fire, on the ground, under tho open canopy
of heaven; two posts, a cross stick and the it
of victuals hanging over the fire.
Second, the same, only a rude wall around, and
a cone-shaped roof, with a hole in the middle
for the smoke to curl out at.
Third, the open grate, iu the open tire-place, a
great portion of the heat excaphig up the chim
ney into the outer air.
fourth, the stove.
Fifth, the stove and drum, increasing the
amount or surface heated by the same luel.
Sixth, the greatly iinpnned drum, or Kdia
TOB, with a more intent and therefore more
penetrating heat from the wmo amount of fuel;
forming a reservoir for heat except as it escapes
through the metallic enclosure, and what little
gets out through the clumnej.
Abundant certificates can be given from thooe
who have used the Kidiatou that it does ail

I have tried Francis Marnk's patent radiator
on my cook stove and found it to do all that he
claims. It caused the kettle to boil and the
oven to heat, quick, with one-half the fuel we
had been using without the ttadiator. We got
